ALCTS webinar: Continuity of Operations (COOP) After a Disaster
Description:
Ever thought about what would happen if a disaster struck your
institution? Would patrons continue to have access to your online
catalog and other e-resources? Will staff continue to be employed? The
ultimate goal of any disaster-affected organization is to remain
operational. This session will discuss the steps one should take before
a disaster to insure continuity of operations and give examples of how
institutions continued their services in the aftermath of the Iowa
floods of 2008. Lessons learned in this session can be applied to any
size institution.
Audience:
Anyone with an interest in the topic is welcome to participate.
Presenter:
Nancy Kraft is the Head of Preservation at the University of Iowa
Libraries where she is responsible for directing the preservation and
conservation of the library collections at the University of Iowa. In
2009, she received the Midwest Archives Conference Presidents’ Award for
her extraordinary work following the historic levels of flooding that
struck Iowa in the summer of 2008. Kraft has assisted in many disaster
recoveries, large and small, including the Iowa Floods of 1993 and 2008,
the University of Iowa Old Capitol fire, the water soaked State
Historical Society of Iowa building, and a mold outbreak in the Law
Library’s rare book room. Kraft, a past President of the Iowa Library
Association, is also active in the American Library Association where
she served as Chair of the Preservation and Reformatting Section of the
Library Collections & Technical Services Division, 2005-2006.
Date: August 18, 2010
Time: All webinars are one hour in length and begin at 2pm Eastern, 1pm
